Engine Maintenance

Engine Safety

•
Keep your hands, feet, face, other body parts,
and clothing away from the muffler and other hot
surfaces. Allow engine components to cool before
performing maintenance.
•
Do not change the engine governor speed or
overspeed the engine.

Servicing the Air Cleaner

Service Interval: Every 25 hours—Clean the
air-cleaner foam element (more
often in dusty, dirty conditions).
Every 100 hours—Replace the air-cleaner foam
element (more often in dusty, dirty conditions).
Note:
Service the air cleaner more frequently (every
few hours) if operating conditions are extremely dusty
or sandy.
Removing the Foam and Paper
Elements
1. Park the machine on a level surface, disengage
the blade-control switch, and move the
motion-control levers outward to the P
position.
2. Shut off the engine, remove the key, and wait
for all moving parts to stop before leaving the
operating position.
3. Clean around the air-cleaner cover to prevent
dirt from getting into the engine and causing
damage.
4. Rotate the latches outward and remove the
cover to access the air-cleaner elements.
